About LPMPS

The Laboratoire de Physique Mathématique et Physique Subatomique (LPMPS) is one of Algeria’s most respected research laboratory in the field of theoretical physics. Founded in 2000 and based at Université Frères Mentouri Constantine 1, the laboratory brings together a large staff of dedicated teachers and researchers, led over the years by a succession of distinguished Algerian physicists.

LPMPS has been recognized multiple times as a “Pole of Excellence” and continues to play a leading role in both national and international physics research. Its work spans a wide range of domains including:

  • Mathematical Physics

  • High-Energy Physics and Gravitation

  • Quantum Computing and Field Theory

  • Nuclear Physics and Radiation-Matter Interaction

  • Medical and Applied Physics

  • Computational and Theoretical Chemistry

LPMPS is also committed to training future physicists through research-based education, ensuring students acquire a strong foundation in fundamental physics and related disciplines. Many of its graduates have gone on to contribute significantly to academia, research, and industry.

Scientific Leadership at LPMPS Through the Years

  • Prof. Lyazid Chetouani (2000–2005): Founding director, instrumental in shaping the laboratory’s early vision and direction.

  • Prof. Noureddine Mebarki (2005–2021): Founding member and highly respected physicist, remembered for his exceptional contributions and leadership until his passing due to COVID-19.

  • Prof. Aissaoui Habib (2021–2023)

  • Prof. Houda Naidja (2023–present)
